I think Bernstein's Salsa20 is faster and significantly more secure than
RC4, whether you'll be able to design hardware to run at line-speed is
somewhat more questionable though (would be interested to know if it's
possible right enough).

I
Would anybody dare to use a SHA256 based stream cipher? (XOR with checksum
of key and counter or whatever you want to throw in there.) Would it be
faster than RC4/Salsa20? I'm a bit curious about why nobody seems to be
using hash/checksum based stream ciphers.
